Pete and dad went to the Loudoun county spelling bee on Monday night. This is the second year in this tradition (click here for last year). The insufferable speeches at the beginning were shorter this year, so we got to see the whole first round, grab a snack in the cafeteria (letter-shaped cookies), and still make it home before 9:00.
We wrote all the words on paper before the kids spelled them. We fared better than last year, this time spelling all 91 words correctly. Although we had to guess on one word, sitzmark, with which we were not familiar.
The champion from Pete's school, Rebecca, was still alive through the second round when we left. We will have to check in the newspaper to see who won. Pete will first be eligible to compete four years from now in 2011.
